Supply chain transformation isn’t theoretical anymore — it’s happening in real time.

A recent report from Walgreens highlights how operational restructuring is accelerating across major distribution networks — including the closure of a Texas distribution center impacting 159 workers as the company streamlines operations and expands automation.

This is part of a broader shift toward efficiency, consolidation, and technology-enabled fulfillment. 

For procurement and operations leaders, this isn’t just news — it’s a signal.

Companies everywhere are asking the same question:
How do we increase efficiency without continuously expanding headcount?

That’s exactly why we built Jonah, Inventry.ai’s agentic AI purchasing assistant.

“We built an AI agent that does what your next purchasing hire would do, minus the onboarding, PTO, & salary.”

Jonah doesn’t just analyze data — it executes purchasing work:

✔ Maintains inventory minimums by creating and managing POs
✔ Follows up with vendors and chases orders automatically
✔ Updates lead times in real time
✔ Matches purchasing activity against invoices
✔ Drafts escalation notes when shipments are delayed

In short, Jonah handles the operational workload that normally requires additional staff — so your existing team can focus on strategy, supplier relationships, and cost optimization.

As supply chains evolve and organizations restructure for efficiency, the competitive advantage goes to companies that augment their workforce with intelligent execution — not just analytics.

Inventry.ai gives your purchasing department a fully operational AI teammate.

Because modern procurement doesn’t just need insight — it needs action.
